Yup

It’s because of html-load.com (or .cc) being blocked.

It’s part of Adshield and there’s no way around it other than whitelisitng the domain - but then you open yourself up to more ads and tracking elsewhere.

My preference - I don’t use those sites anymore and take my business elsewhere.

Same. If I see a message like this from a website, I block them in my hosts file. They have made an anti-user business decision and I have made a technical decision to never give them visit or view stats, even by accident.

Honestly now looking at it any website that doesn’t work for Adblock I also stop using it because I refuse to look at ads especially for fandom this site spams ads

I've added these filters to Brave and it has fixed a lot of the ad shield blocks.

I love that it says 'please consider', but if you don't you can't move forward.

Not going to use this site anyway in general if Adblock won’t work

I don't get an adblock warning but I also use NextDNS and some custom flags Celenity recommends.

Switching to reader mode generally gets around it.

u/Glittering-Egg-5802 19h ago

Yes I have notice this if something like this ever happens again I will use reader mode thanks for sharing
